Liz and Rob are two Kiwis travelling around the world, doing their thing, getting into mischief the world over. They were in Australia but have since moved on (Australians smell funny, see).
They are currently in Europe (where the people smell a different kind of funny).
Hey guys, So, I’ve ported all my old blog posts from the old http://lizs-world.livejournal.com site to this one, unifying the two blogs. We also added a few of the wedding blog posts we had made on the wedding version of this site previously. It’s all in one happy place now! To see the oldest blog post on this site now, go to http://www.lizandrob.co.nz/2006/03/ These blog posts are from when I first moved to Melbourne in March 2006 until aout b2009. [...]
It took us a while to leave Australia. We intended to leave in 2009 but the economy was too poor in the UK or US to consider it. So we stayed another year. Then at the beginning of 2010, we decided it was time. So we put in Rob’s visa application (thanks for my UK passport Dad), waited 6 weeks for the approval and were in NZ a month later.

In the middle of May 2010, Rob and I left Melbourne, which had been our home for 4 years. We have a few get togethers before we left, but the drinkies the night before we went was brilliant. So many friends that we’d made from different circles came, which was so wonderful. Not everyone got a picture here, but you know who you are. Thanks for coming! Our netball mates. Thanks for all the fun times! Hockey peeps and Flat [...]
One of our last adventures in Australia before we left was to go up to Lindeman Island in Queensland with the team from the Hub Productions. Rob and I had gone up here the year before for our honeymoon so it was great to go back and now with friends! Well, Carissa organised the trip as a Hub Productions corporate retreat. A happy combination of events! Lindeman Island is a 40 minute ferry trip from the Hamilton Island airport. As [...]
Despite living in Melbourne for 4 years, we never actually bothered to go to the Formula 1 Grand Prix. This year, as our last in Melbourne, we decided to make the effort and go down to a practice day. It was pretty neat. And excessively loud. You’ll have to excuse the quality of our photography. We’re new to SLR, and are working things out as we go.
